CYMBAL CARE
Surge cymbals are designed to the highest standards and should provide you with a lifetime of
reliable service. As with any piece of electronic equipment, you should take care when transporting
and cleaning your cymbals.
TRANSPORTING YOUR CYMBALS
You should transport your cymbals in protected and padded cases, which should be available from
your favorite drum shop. The use of hard, plastic “cymbal-safe” type of cases isn’t recommended
because you can not fasten more than a few Surge Cymbals in the case before you run out of room.
The trigger housings on the undersides of the cymbals are made from a very strong and lightweight
ABS plastic and are very durable, but please be sure not to stack too much weight on the cymbals.
Because of this trigger housing, you will not be able to stack these cymbals as flatly and neatly as you
could stack the same number of acoustic cymbals.
CLEANING YOUR CYMBALS
Cleaning the Top Surface
The top playing surfaces of your Surge Cymbals are made from a real brass alloy cymbal, therefore
you should use a damp wet cloth or a non-abrasive cymbal cleaner or cymbal polish –
on the top
surface only
– to remove stick marks or other debris.
DO NOT USE CYMBAL CLEANER ON THE
BOTTOM SURFACE.
Cleaning the Bottom Surface
The bottom surface is covered with the special plastic dampening material and should
not
be cleaned
with cymbal cleaner or cymbal polish. Instead, dampen a cloth with water and clean the surface or, in
extreme cases, use a specialty plastics cleaner (such as the kind used for cleaning the isinglass on a
boat.
